Todays work consists of various special orders. Last nite my friend Bob Sholiton came by for a fishing trip today. Bob, as you may remember, is my former friend who commisioned the 8"- 4 panel diamond shank Hawkbill, of last week. He had another great idea for a shape for me to flex my pipe making muscles on. This is fairly tall full bent Bulldog.The difficulty was the diamond shank meeting the lines of the Bulldog with about zero clearence, very difficult to sand! .(see the second pix) Pipe has a stunning crossgrain/birdseye which will be dramatic as the pipe darkens. It s a large size 6, 2 Star, in a natural finish:
The next two pipes are special orders also , one for ASP s Picman who commsioned a bent Poker with an amber lucite stem and another fishing buddy, Mike Cherba who likes a nice blast in the Castello #66 shape.
